    Foot Injury/Illness

    I have a 1 year old silkie mix. About a month ago I treated her foot for bumble foot, cleaned it out and let it heal. It was a small case of it. Two weeks later I noticed she was lame. Dragging the same foot around, I separated her to keep her off of it. No change. Today I noticed the foot is...

I went to run errands came home and went to check on the girls and she was sitting staring straight up staring at the sky. It was weird so I went to pick her up and she kind of flopped for a second. I picked her...

Immediately afterwards she was flopping on the ground and then settled into a very still state. I put her inside with a...

    Just to be clear these are 9 week old marans? If so they are probably roos. Sorry! My Maran just got her comb and it just turned red she is 24 weeks.

    Kitty Litter Nest Box Question

    These are the nest boxes that I have (this is a copied photo). I think they are okay my bantams seem to like them but my Ameraucanas and my Maran have no interest and they are the closest to laying.

    Deep Litter and Coccid

    I have a weird question is it OK to combine the medication with vitamins and electrolytes into their water just to help them through the process of being treated and should I treat the chicken that I have in quarantine for an injury at the same time just in case I'd hate to have to treat all of...

    Also it has been raining lately and the birds have spent a large amount of time digging in the dirt and mud and in and out of the coop.

    Deep Litter and Coccid

    So essentially here is what has happened. I went out to the coop this morning, I looked down and there is a large red runny blob on the coop floor and one on top of the nest boxes where a chicken has been sitting. The blob is red red and looks like pudding. I am not even sure who is sick because...

    Deep Litter and Coccid

    I am 100% sure one of my chickens has Coccid I have already started treating the flock with corrid but I want to know if I was doing the deep litter method if I need to get rid of all the bedding or just turn and apply a fresh layer. I obviously want to head this off since whoever is sick is not...

    Kitty Litter Nest Box Question

    Also the next boxes are closer to the front of the coop, maybe I should have my husband unscrew them and move them toward the back (we have a converted 10X12 shed).

    Kitty Litter Nest Box Question

    I thought I was being awesome by re-purposing kitty littler boxes as next boxes, you know the 12X18" boxes, so far my chickens have done nothing but ignore the boxes. Then following advice I placed on inside the portable run just in case a chicken wanted to lay an egg (were waiting, it should...

    Thanks I was thinking my birds seem to be morning grazers and maybe they would do well with nest boxes in the run.

    Moveable Run and Egg Laying

    I have a question, we have a run that we move to a new spot each day, now that my birds are almost ready to lay I am wondering how much time to leave them at the coop to lay eggs before taking them out to graze the yard. My other thought is would you provide a nest box in the run if its not...
